Abstract

A computer-based method for representing a project includes accessing a description of the project and displaying, based on the description, at least a portion of the project in a perspective representation that generally resembles a path. A computer program product includes instructions that cause a processor to convert a description of the project into display instructions for displaying at least a portion of the project in a perspective representation, displaying relative progress of the project relative to an expected progress of the project, and displaying a relative rate of progress of the project relative to an expectation of a rate of progress. The computer program product is tangibly stored on machine readable media. A computer-based method for representing a project includes receiving a project identification identifying the project, accessing the description of the project identified by the project identification, identifying an element of the project from the description of the project, and displaying the element of the project in a perspective representation of the project.
